Herbert(3)-Peace

Where do I find a contented life? ECHO: WIFE Will marriage bring this to me ? ECHO: SEE Can two ever complement one? ECHO: DONE But do opposites cement,still? ECHO: WILL Aye,will it hold fast from above? ECHO: LOVE Here,there,where does agape hide? ECHO: INSIDE Ah yes,but how will it draw near? ECHO: HEAR Perhaps for me,too great a task! ECHO: ASK Yes,yes but how,what words to pray ECHO: SAY Inspired by after and tribute to George Herbert's delightful form in his poem 'Heaven'

Marriage is not easy and becoming one is even harder....With the Love that God gives help comes but even with that it is not easy...Like the presentation of the idea....Sara
